This avenue separates the district of Benicalap from that of Campanar. The name of Campanar is believed to derive from camp (field) since when Jaime I donated these lands, in the 13th century, there was no bell tower in the place.
The Polifilo garden was inaugurated in the year 2000 and is 39,400 m2.
This garden pays homage to the book El Sueño de Polifilo, a Renaissance work by Francesco Colonna.
Polifilo's garden has differentiated areas linked by paths. These areas have suggestive names: Gates of Destiny square, the Guardian of the Gardens, etc.
This garden also has a square pond and a children's play area.
This garden has a great diversity of trees: cypresses, orange trees, hackberries, tipuanas, laurels, false plane trees, etc.
The garden has three plazas in its central path: a semicircular one at its main entrance, a circular one at the intersection of the first path; and another larger one, which is square and is where the pond is.
It also has a small artificial mound. In it is the first tree planted in the garden, in 1998, which was an oak.
The origin of the town of Campanar was a group of farmhouses from the Muslim era. The old town of Campanar is made up of the Plaza de la Iglesia and the adjacent streets. It was an independent municipality from 1836 until its annexation to Valencia in 1897. It is currently surrounded by highways and tall buildings.
The church is from 1507, being renovated in the Baroque era. Its bell tower is from the 18th century.
The typical town houses of this nucleus correspond to the typology of farmhouses from the orchard of the 19th and early 20th centuries. These consisted of a wide door for the entrance of cars and horses.
The old core of the district of Campanar, once the orchard that surrounded it disappeared, retains the appearance of a town embedded within the city.
This is the first bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava for the city of Valencia. It was finished in 1989.
In its corners, on top of some concrete blocks, it has four abstract sculptures. It also has four ramps that connect it to the bed of the old Turia river, now converted into a garden.
The bridge was to be reflected in a round pond that was never built.
The Cabecera Park is located on the historic bed of the Turia River, on the border of the municipality of Mislata, and is over 330,000 m2. It was inaugurated in the year 2004.
The park is conceived as a project that, in the future, will unite the natural bed of the Turia river with its artificial diversion.
This park has an artificial mound that rises about 15 m. and serves as a viewpoint over the lake.
